by DCShelley's travels in search of the truth of his identity and his newfound powers would take him across the United States, leading him into an ongoing feud with assorted adversaries including Vandal Savage , the Body Doubles and others, as well as alliances and friendship with various members of the Justice League (although he did not feel comfortable acting in a traditional superhero role).

A comment by the Phantom Stranger in RM #18 about having worked with Shelly in previous lifetimes suggests that there is more to his powers than just the tektites. However, the series never expanded on this point.

Written by Dan Abnett who went on to become the Architect for Marvels entire cosmic line of comics including Guardians Of The Galaxy, Annihilation etc this series comes highly recommended.
